Our Gritting Service - Tailored To Your Needs

​Site Survey

​We carry out a comprehensive site survey and provide a price for the required service, with no retaining fee. We can also provide a risk assessment and a method statement upon acceptance of our services.

Continual Monitoring

As part of our service we monitor the weather conditions in your area, using a location specific road surface temperature forecast. Once the forecast reaches the trigger point (a combination of surface temperature and climatic conditions) we will commence our winter gritting/maintenance services. Once complete we will send you an email containing details of the winter gritting that has been carried out.

Conscientious Gritting

Normally gritting is carried out using white salt which is environmentally kinder and flows better through the spreading machines which are calibrated to ensure an even spread of salt at the recognised industry standard. Salt is not only the most economical de-icing material, it is also non-toxic and the residual salt is diluted and disposed of through natural processes. However, TGS Landscapes understands that in order to keep the environmental impact at a minimum it must be used responsibly. We believe good training and appropriate resources are vital in achieving this.

​Application Rate​The industry standard proven application rate of the rock salt will be applied when we are salting during the ice and snow conditions. Application rates increase depending on the forecast conditions

Ensuring the safety of your staff and customers during winter conditions has become simple with our cost effective price plans. Depending on your requirements, we offer two plans:
